I don't see the BC positioning - 7 wins tops

Must not have a lot of faith in Louisville if you're picking West Virginia to go all the way.

I dont like Louisville's chances with no Petreno, I think that is a big lost.

Losing Petrino definitely hurts Louisville, but to say that WV will play in New Orleans come January, that's a bit of a stretch.

Really? Two Heisman candidates aren't enough?

Nothing wrong with Kragthorpe as the coach in Louisville. He knows that Brohm throwing the ball is his ticket to success and is not about to rock the boat.

I look for UT to make a better show than 19 - but then with the SEC you almost need a good week to even get a feel for what kind of team will show up per school

I definitely think Penn State will finish in the Top 3 in the Big Ten this year. I think Ohio State won't (probably 4th).

I want to agree man. I hate OSU, but I just can't see them falling farther than 3rd.

I think Michigan, Wisconsin, and Penn State all have more talent than OSU this year. It'll be a battle. Those 4 teams all play each other at some point. I give the edge to Michigan and Wisconsin. Their head-to-head game will probably decide the Big Ten champ for 2007.
